Kentucky forward Jacob Toppin wins the dunk contest at Big Blue Madness, with some special guests in attendance to judge the competition. That panel of judges included former Kentucky standouts Hamidou Diallo, Tyler Ulis, Nick Richards, Kevin Knox and Brandon Knight. Diallo, an NBA Slam Dunk Champion himself, gave one piece of advice for participants: “Don’t miss.”
Toppin’s first dunk attempts were filthy, but none landed, leading to a first-round clunker as far as score goes. In round two, though, Jacob Toppin pulled off the highest-rated individual dunk of the evening — an up-and-under reverse baseline slam. Judges gave the dunk a 49/50 overall.
